That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Wouldn't those results indicate that you have less dark triad traits than the average man? Aside from your rampant narcissism apparently, lol.Atom Smasher said:M 56, higher than 30% of peers.
N 68, higher than 71% of peers.
P 39, higher than 37% of peers.
It's good to be a member of the dark brotherhood.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I'm assuming you were wanting to get a high score on this. It's funny, only in PUA world would guys aspire to score highly on a test testing for personality disorders.Vice said:Interesting results. I had to refrain from "trying" to get a certain score and choosing "strongly agree/disagree" sparingly.
But I scored the highest. I'm not a pua at all. I've never had to put much thought or effort into the women I've been with. Usually they are just naturally attracted to me based on my personality. Also all the women I've been with, I was with before i found sosuave, or pua sites.zekko said:I'm assuming you were wanting to get a high score on this.

Or maybe too many people put weight into this "Dark Triad". You doing fine with women and scoring much less than average in the Dark Triad traits is completely fine. If people met true narcissistic, and psychopathic people in their lives, they would understand it is something to not emulate. I don't consider myself scoring very high on this yet I do fine with women. Dark Triad is the equivalent of horoscopes for women, except aimed at Heartiste's readers. Heartiste gives good advice from time to time, but at the crux of it, he is an entertainer. And these DT tests are all another version of the e-d1ck measuring contest known since the beginning of the internet.Mr.Positive said:I'm not so sure I'd place too much weight in this test. I scored very low. According to this article I should be a complete loser. Yet, I do just fine with women.

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Totally agree.ArcBound said:Or maybe too many people put weight into this "Dark Triad". You doing fine with women and scoring much less than average in the Dark Triad traits is completely fine.

I don't buy into all the Dark Triad stuff, but even if you did: Maybe there is some value to being on the extreme opposite end of the spectrum.Mr. Positive said:I'm less than 1% of the people who have taken this test.
